The Golfing Society reached their second successive years All-In Cup Final at the expense of First Division Five + One in a memorable semi-final at the Black Horse Thornbury.
Cup Captain Ned's team selection was faultless as Chairman Leprechaun (43) and Crabbers (40) opened the tie with an impressive 83 pin haul, to thrust the Golfing Society into an ultimately match winning lead of twelve pins.
The middle pairing of The Accountant (30) and Starting Price (38) managed to cling onto the Golfing Society's lead with a good 68 pin total, only losing six pins to their first division opponents.
A missed spare opportunity proved critical, and the old saying "never start with a nine" proved to be true for Five + One, as Cup Captain Ned (32) and the Builder (41) were let off the proverbial hook by Five + One, needing five pins at the death could only score three pins, to leave the Golfing Society gasping with amazement and their opponents stunned by the miss.
The final will be an 8.30 start at the Black Horse where First Division Jokers will be the opponents, and the Golfing Society will be looking to go one better than last years runners up spot.
Next Front Pin Cup action will be at home on Thursday at 7.45 to Denzils Elite (TBC) followed by league two action against the Rafters at 9.00pm (TBC).
